THANKS. Sounds perfect since I was going 255/85/16 have HD oem and was going to add 1" spacer regardless and UP TO 2" body lift.. LOOKS GREAT. any bigger would be too much.

The spares don't look anything like NATO wheels, nor are they as strong.

Be very careful reversing them on the axle. Most steel wheels aren't designed to be reversed and the lug nuts will loosen. Very much like white spoke wheels from the 70's.
I haven't looked at the Rover spare to see if it's actually safe to do it.
